SYNOPSIS:
After a career-ending accident, former NFL recruit Ian
Hunter is back on campus—and he’s ready to get his new game on. As one of the
masterminds behind Wingmen, Inc., a successful and secretive word-of-mouth
dating service, he’s putting his extensive skills with women to work for the
lovelorn. But when Blake Olson requests the services of Wingmen, Inc., Ian may
have landed his most hopeless client yet.
From her frumpy athletic gear to her unfortunate choice of
footwear, Blake is going to need a miracle if she wants to land her crush. At
least with a professional matchmaker by her side she has a fighting chance. Ian
knows that his advice and a makeover can turn Blake into another successful
match. But as Blake begins the transformation from hot mess to smokin’ hot, Ian
realizes he’s in danger of breaking his cardinal rule…

This
book has such an awesome premise, I couldn't wait to start it. It didn't hurt
that I love Rachel Van Dyken's work. I was instantly
drawn into the book and fell in love with Ian. I loved his personality. I love being in his head and
seeing things from his point of view. Unfortunately, I
can’t say the same for Blake. It
took a long time for me to warm up to her. It took me until almost 50% to come
to like her and that didn’t last long since she did something I hated and while
it could have been worse, that event, combined with my slow warm up to her, was
enough for me to write her off. To add insult to injury, it was Ian that later
ended up apologizing and begging her to give them another chance…and I took
great issue with that because Blake was the one at fault. I can honestly say
that I was hoping that there would be a cliffhanger and Ian would find someone
else.
Even though
I had issues with Blake, I loved Ian’s friends. The banter between Lex, Gabi
and Ian had me cracking up. I also loved seeing Ian work with his clients. And
honestly, I would love to see how Lex would do at Ian’s job. One of my favorite
things was Ian’s rules:
I loved how
he knew exactly how to help women and get them the guys they wanted. Overall, I
love the promise, Ian, and his friends and I loved seeing Ian work with his
clients. My reading is purely for those things, because if I took Blake into
account... It wouldn't be quite so generous.
I can't wait
to read more from the series and to see how Wingman Inc moves forward.
“If you hurt her, I’m
going to break off your favorite appendage.”
“Silly Gabi.” I grinned. “Is that an invitation to touch?”
“Guarantee if I ever
do touch you, it will only end badly.”
“Tease.” I winked.
“Stop that.” She flicked me on the nose. “Your sexual
prowess is dead to me. Dead!”
Rolling my eyes, I wrapped an arm around her and steered us
both into the kitchen, where the smell of French bread and spaghetti filled the
air. “Have I told you how much I miss our weekly dinners? Think we should do it
daily? You know, so I don’t starve?”
Gabi shrugged out of my embrace. “Learn how to cook.”
I jutted out my lower lip. “It’s not for lack of knowledge.”
I broke off a piece of warm bread, then poured myself a large glass of wine.
“It’s because yours always tastes better.”
Gabi groaned loudly. “Damn, do the girls really fall for
that? Still?”
“Eh.” I shrugged and made a so-so motion with my hand. “Nine
out of ten.”
“You disgust me.”
“You say that every day.”
“Because it’s true every day.”
“When’s dinner ready?” Serena bounced into the room,
literally, her head bobbing from left to right. Maybe that’s how girls like her
built up more brain cells. They shook the air, and the pressure between their
ears exploded, making tiny little brain-cell babies.
Gabi poked her head into the fridge. “When Lex gets here.”
“So it’s ready now?” she asked.
Never mind. No brain-cell babies. I fought the urge to point
to the steaming spaghetti and bread sitting on the breakfast bar. Didn’t it
look ready, kiddo?
“Technically,” I answered for Gabi. “But we aren’t eating”—I
stressed the word “eating” even though I’d just taken some bread—“until my
sidekick gets here.”
“Sidekick, huh?” Serena crossed her arms, forcing her boobs
to kiss one another and nearly hit her in the chin.
“Oh, I thought you knew.” I gave her a sad face. “I’m the
hero in this scenario . . . Even own my own cape. He’s basically the Robin to
my Batman.”
“Batman’s hot.”
“So is Robin,” Gabi said defensively.
Whoa. Did she just defend Lex? I felt her forehead. She
pushed my hand away and handed me some parmesan cheese.
The door flew open, and Lex stepped through, holding up two
bottles of Cab. “Sorry, traffic was shit.”
“Language,” Gabi called.
Lex and I shared a look before Lex stomped over to the swear
jar and tossed in a dollar bill.
